The Irish Ferries trade dispute in late 2005 was the epitome of a failure to communicate. Clearly the nadir of industrial relations, this conflict provides a classic study, from the perspectives of both labor and management, of how not to negotiate effectively. Similar to US federal law, Irish statutory law has considerably limited, but not completely prohibited, secondary union activity. Collective bargaining agreements that are the result of labor-management negotiations are the linchpin of successful American industrial relations.

WASHINGTON - At the heart of the bitter dispute over funding the Federal Aviation Administration is an ongoing brawl between Republicans and Democrats over the rights of labor unions, one of several that have flared up during the Obama administration. Congress struck a deal that gave the FAA temporary operating authority last week just as lawmakers began their August vacation. For nearly two weeks prior, the FAA was mostly shut down, with 4,000 FAA workers furloughed and tens of thousands of construction- related jobs idled. The unsettled labor dispute is waiting for Congress when it returns to consider a long-term FAA spending bill and could lead to another standoff.
